Anti-Gay Crusader Jonathan Saenz's Ex-Wife Left Him For A Woman

Court documents reveal the wife of an anti-gay extremist left him for a woman months before he became the head of an anti-gay Texas group.

Jonathan Saenz is a conservative Catholic attorney who is the president of Texas Values, an anti-abortion, anti-LGBT group "dedicated to preserving and advancing a culture of family values in the state of Texas." In August 2011, he was hit with divorce papers from his now ex-wife, Corrine Morris Rodriguez Saenz, after nearly 10 years of marriage. Those court papers, obtained by Lone Star Q, reveal Rodriguez left Saenz for a woman named Ercimin Paredes.

Rodriguez and Paredes both taught at Becker Elementary School in Austin. Saenz alleged in court records that Rodriguez was “deeply involved in her relationship with Ms. Paredes as early as the fall of 2010.” In a divorce counter-petition filed by Saenz in May 2013, he accused Rodriguez of adultery and wanted Paredes banned from being in the presence of his and Rodriguez's two children.

Lone Star Q reports Saenz's attorney "made discovery requests and issued subpoenas seeking information about Corrine Saenz’s relationship with her girlfriend." Saenz sought to have Paredes barred from the courtroom during the divorce proceedings. The divorce was finalized last year.

I think that it's detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization."
On the issue of marriage equality Cameron remarked, "Marriage was defined by God a long time ago. Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve -- one man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either. So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't."
